According to Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase, the Dolphins are worst in the NFL in dropping catchable passes.

Yes, at times, Jay Cutler hasn’t put the ball in an ideal place.

But catchable is catchable is catchable.

“It’s just they haven’t caught them,” Gase said Wednesday. “They haven’t caught the passes. It’s an area that we’re really stressing. And we need to obviously improve because we’re dead last in the league with catching catchable passes. And we have to improve on that very quickly.”

Gase’s plan?

More repetitions in practice. More passes. More catches.

More work.

“That’s the only way I know how to do that,” Gase said. “Just catch as many balls as possible. Keep your focus. Understand that once the last play is over you’ve got to move onto the next one, you can’t let it carry over. I think last week was a good example of first half we had a couple of balls we didn’t come up with and we figured out a way in the second half.”

If we credit the Dolphins with 10 “drops (and these can sometimes be debated) that’s 17 percent, a remarkable total.

“I don’t know if they could be touchdowns but right now it’s all about first downs and putting ourselves in manageable positions,” Gase said. “And when I think we’ve got something like 15 first downs missed opportunities on the season, that hurts you. That’s time off the clock. That’s another chance to score. Another chance to get in the red zone. So you know with us if our defense is fresh and they’re out there and we keep them out of that 65+ play range per game, that’s good for us.”
